At Minehead Middle School we are busy growing your employees of the future.  Regular and sustained contact with our local employers is an important part of our careers programme. It is essential that our young people get to meet and understand the job roles available to them and to improve their understanding of the labour market, whilst exploring their own aspirations for future careers. We welcome the help of local businesses, employers and training providers to raise the career aspirations of our students, develop their employability skills and learn more about the exciting industries in Somerset.

Some examples careers Minehead Middle School has hosted;

• Employer assemblies
• Employers working with the curriculum
• Career carousel with employers
• West Somerset Careers and Skills Fair
• STEM workshops with STEM employers

How Employers and Training Providers Can Help Our Students: 

• Book to attend our Careers Carousel which we run each summer
• Give a short careers talk about your company, apprenticeship scheme, your role and career path and answer students’ questions. 
• Providing bespoke Work Experience to our Y7 & Y8 students
• Assisting with Mock Interview event.
• We aim where possible to bring the careers and workplace application into curriculum lessons. We welcome links with employers who can contribute to a
• specific subject department by either allowing students to visit their company
  on a school trip, or come into school to deliver an aspect of subject curriculum
  to a class.
